Spotted – Sadness Plush Soft Toy

We were lucky to go to a special Leicester Square screening of Inside out – and before we went Disney sent a Sadness plush soft toy for 8yr old Bear.Well – if you haven’t seen the movie, you’ll wonder why on earth you might want such a depressing soft toy sitting on your bed.But after the movie?Who doesn’t want a little Sadness Awesome to share their room with?Anyhoo – as you can see, Sadness...

Hotel Chocolat’s Everything Luxe box

I came to understand as I grew into adulthood that chocolate really isn’t my thing. I’m never the one to choose a chocolate option in a restaurant, I can’t ever eat a whole bar in one sitting, and I rarely bake chocolate cake (unless it’s crammed with courgettes and we happen to have a glut of them…). But actually, it’s not that I don’t love chocolate. I really do. But what I love is not just...

Bamboo Babygrow – most excellent baby pyjamas (*WARNING – CUTE baby alert)

The answer to baby pyjamas when the weather can’t make up its mind I don’t know about you but I’ve really struggled recently to know what to dress my baby in for bedtime. One minute it’s boiling hot, the next freezing cold. A vest on its own leaves her waking up chilly and grizzly an hour later but some of her regular babygros just make her hot and sweaty. What’s a mum to do? Step in Bubba Bambu and their range of hypo allergenic...

Baby Sheets Like You’ve Never Seen Before | Magnus & Mouse

When you’re kitting out your baby’s nursery, it’s easy to overlook the cot sheets. I mean, a sheet’s a sheet, right? Wrong. Until I’d stumbled across the 100% organic fitted cotton sheets from super-chic baby brand Magnus & Mouse I poured scorn on the thought of spending anything over £15 on cot sheets. But that was before. Imagine sleeping on the very best Egyptian cotton in a five star hotel and then returning to threadbare,...

Spotted! Canvas Leather Backpack perfect for summer trips

  Lookety look! A pretty canvas leather backpack! If there’s one thing that annoys me in the summer, it’s having to carry a handbag – you need a bag with you, but when you’re out and about adventuring, you want your hands free, don’t you? but backpacks are inherently ugly, so I usually make do with a lovely messenger bag (which is actually just too small for purse/keys/phone/sunglasses, never mind...

Ragtales – Beautiful Toys with a Beautiful Story

AS you can imagine, we have been sent a LOT of of soft toys over the years. I once tried to add up the value of all the soft toys in the daughter’s then-five-yr-old bedroom. It frankly made my eyes water. We’ve been sent toys by the biggest high street giants, and tiny little handmade gems by Etsy sellers. We’ve got a 5′ rabbit (named FluffyWully. Don’t ask.), and an entire house full of small Maileg...
